Tree or* *Golden Shower Cassia*, *Bandarlathi, Bahava, Girimala, Rajbrikh,
Garmalo, Bahava, Bawa, Garmala, Kani Poo * On 13/2/08 fromThallasherry and
Kannur in North Kerala as per Naveein- people are concerned that this flower
which plays an important role in the 'Vishu" celebrations (which is the
Malayalam New Year), may not be available in April. It's called the Kani Poo
in Tamil and Malayalam as it flowers only in April, and exactly during the
Vishu festival, when this flower is considered to be a "must" in the
decoration as per Ravi. I have seen it flower from April to June in Kolkata.
On 08/04/2006 at Mysore as per Raghu. Flowering in the JVPD Scheme/Andheri,
Mumbai- 31/3/08- Tejal ji. April first fortnight flowering in Pune- Satish

peaking by mid May. Beautiful Trees & Shrubs of Calcutta by Sh. R.K.
Chakraverty & S.K.Jain states that it flowering starts in late spring
(April-May) and continues upto mid summer (June).
